DNA Testing Method Used

When collecting a specimen for immigration DNA testing, the preferred method is by buccal (cheek or mouth) swab. The buccal technique is a non-invasive and painless DNA test that utilizes a long cotton swab to collect cells from the inside of an individual’s cheek or mouth. The buccal swab allows for lab technicians to efficiently collect and ship the immigration DNA test without jeopardizing accuracy. When comparing the buccal DNA testing method to a DNA blood test the results are equivalent.

An immigration DNA test is the only non-documentary way that is acceptable for proof of a biological relationship. However, completing an immigration DNA test is entirely voluntary. Once your DNA test has been completed, the U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact you to set up an appointment.

DNA Testing Costs

The cost of immigration DNA testing will be paid by the individual requiring proof of relation before the applicant’s embassy appointment. Different factors can affect the overall cost of your immigration DNA test, such as the number of individuals being testing and types of relationships being tested for. However, Mednovations services are priced at – or below – those of the big-box labs. Therefore, offering customers an affordable option for completing their immigration DNA tests.
